Truman’s “Fair Deal” speech in which he announced plans for many controversial domestic programs, including national health insurance, public housing, a minimum wage increase, and federal education assistance, I thought this quote could give us some insight into the man behind these policies, which were at the time were considered to “smack of socialism”.
